<p>Hi. Studying and following rustc development is my new hobby. I hope to some day be of help! In the meantime I'll read code, scratch my head and hopefully learn :)</p>

<p>you can ping me if you need an issue to work on <span aria-label="slight smile" class="emoji emoji-1f642" role="img" title="slight smile">:slight_smile:</span></p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="120823">@DPC</span> sure it would help me learn faster if I was tasked with a specific issue. My impression is that the project wants more hands working on tech debt issues. I think that type of work would be a great resource for learning the code base.</p>

<p>ah okay. It is just that there are small things left to be done on various issues and I feel it's a good way to get started. This aren't about new features, they are about polishing old ones xD</p>

<p>meanwhile you can also look at the working groups (each one has their own "stream" here) and see if anything interests you <span aria-label="slight smile" class="emoji emoji-1f642" role="img" title="slight smile">:slight_smile:</span></p>

<p>Well, what got me especially interested in the compiler in the first place is async/await. This feature being released made us choose rust for a project at work last year. But we had a couple of ergonomics issues, and I started reading through a lot of github issues to see if those things are already reported. I realized I need to have at least a high level understanding of the code base in order to fully understand bug descriptions reported by experienced members. So I read through the rustc dev guide, watched all of the async interviews. Now I'm here :)</p>

<p>Sadly async/await is fairly undocumented in the dev guide, but feel free to ask if you have any questions as to how it works</p>

<p>Right, this is something we should improve. Maybe when the Overview is done? <span aria-label="slight smile" class="emoji emoji-1f642" role="img" title="slight smile">:slight_smile:</span></p>
